Implication

In vitro study demonstrates bacterial inhibition by Chelidonium majus-loaded electrospun meshes without cytotoxicity, suggesting potential for advanced infection-resistant wound dressings.

Key Points

  • To develop and characterize needleless emulsion electrospun PCL/PVA_PEC nanofibrous meshes loaded with Chelidonium majus extract for antibacterial wound dressing applications.
  • Fabricated polycaprolactone/polyvinyl alcohol_pectin (PCL/PVA_PEC) nanofibrous meshes incorporating Chelidonium majus extract via needleless emulsion electrospinning.
  • Evaluated mesh fiber morphology in comparison to the skin's extracellular matrix, controlled release properties, antibacterial activity against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, and cytotoxicity in normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF).
  • The electrospun PCL/PVA_PEC meshes replicated the morphological architecture of the natural skin extracellular matrix and enabled controlled release of the plant extract.
  • Chelidonium majus-loaded meshes achieved up to a 3.82 Log reduction in Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth while showing no cytotoxic effects on normal human dermal fibroblasts.
